Frequently Asked Questions

A municipality using lever voting machines for an election that includes county, state or national offices or county or state referenda may collect, from the county, a proportionate share of the cost of preparing the ballot for those machines and for the cost of supplies, notices or other materials necessary in preparing or conducting the election, but is not entitled to reimbursement, from the county or state, for a share of the cost of technicians, messengers, tabulators or canvassers employed in that election unless the decision to employ was made by the county or state.
